Ammon News - The Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) has warned citizens against fraudulent advertisements circulating on social media that claim users have won cash prizes.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, the CBJ urged the public not to let the excitement of winning a prize distract them from protecting their personal information.

The bank stressed the importance of never sharing financial or personal data with any party claiming that an individual has won a prize.

It added: "Protecting your data starts with not sharing it with any untrusted party."
